More Daily Bugle - oops, we mean DB!  Repercussions from the actions of new villain, Menace!  Curt Connors!  And - what you've really been waiting for, true believer - Peter Parker does his own laundry!  Will those stains come out? And what ARE those stains anyway?  Find out in "Just Blame Spider-Man!"
